Abstract

Working through and successfully completing a project-based learning assignment requires the coordination of many skills; including focus, creativity, self-regulation, and executive functioning. A deficit in these skill areas can lead to incomplete or missing elements in the project, an inability to pull all the components together, frustration, and low self-efficacy toward extended projects that require stamina. Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) typically have lagging skills in areas such as, concentration, sustained attention, planning, organizing, time-management, and task completion. The intention of this research study is to examine how students with ADHD perform in a project-based learning environment.
